Hi Ed, thanks for your diet-blog, it's inspiring. From Jim Harrison's food memoir, The Raw and the Cooked . . .
"Jack Nicholson once said to me, and it bears repeating, that “only in the Midwest is overeating still considered an act of heroism.”
I imagine Jack patting Jim on the shoulder as he rolled out the front door after surviving one of Harrison's feasts, growling that bit of evolved, Left Coaster advice at our nation's most unregenerate Midwestern eater . . . and I laugh. I'm more Harrison in habits, but have had to take Nicholson's point to stave off my own incipient diabetes.
That doesn't stop me from a near-panic attack when ordering a smallish/reasonable amount of food, though. Heroic eating is a hard habit to break ;-)
